Reno Aces News Release


Reno, NV. - The Reno Aces returned home to a crowd of 5,396 at Greater Nevada Field on Friday night against the Tacoma Rainiers. Jake Buchanan got the nod for manager Greg Gross and did not disappoint. The right-hander tossed seven innings of one-run baseball en route to his first win of the season. A 10-run offensive showing from the Aces was too much for Tacoma to bear. The 10-1 Aces win in their third consecutive victory and third straight at home.

A big third inning put the Aces out in front early. Back-to-back walks by Tacoma starter Rob Whalen put Reno in an attacking place with no outs. Daniel Robertson put down a perfect bunt down the third base line and an errant throw brought in Jack Reinheimer. Socrates Brito then doubled and Christian Walker followed his efforts with a triple off the right-center field wall. Reno proceeded to score two runs in the fourth, three in the fifth and one in the sixth inning to secure the victory. Reno will take on the Rainiers again tomorrow night at 6:35 p.m.
